The Upper School's Beyond the Classroom is a four-year sequence of experiences that takes students into the field, exposes them to life skills and paths, engages them in greater community, and develops their leadership skills. The program culminates in Project Action, which requires students to engage, reflect, respond, and build on the mission-centered concept of community engagement. In short, they embrace being community builders.

Students from grades one through eight enjoy a variety of sports experiences for five weeks every winter through the Winter Sports program. Overnight excursions, beginning in sixth grade, include curricular themes and serve to welcome new friends into each grade level and strengthen the bonds between teachers and students.
